Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 859 The Ceremony

“They have been together for around 20 years. Zhou Sheng made use of her, but they shared some love together. That is why he keeps repeating his own behaviors. He can’t make up his mind between love and power. Zhou Sheng likes Jiang Shuang, but as far as he knows, love isn’t as important as power.”

“Although Jiang Shuang decided to leave, she can’t simply just forget about their twenty-year-old relationship within just one moment,” Zhao Yiqiu said emotionally.

Actually, Zhou Sheng and Jiang Shuang should have been a great match with each other and they liked each other too, but the mistake was that Zhou Sheng was born as a prince who was never liked, thus feeling insatiable for power. What a pity.

Zhou Huaijin took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands, and they said nothing more.

The King hurried back to the court.

He went to the rose garden first, which was built for Jiang Shuang’s sake. He did not put much affection into the garden, but just said one word so the garden was built. Jiang Shuang visited the garden often, but he himself did not. He did not like roses, so he was never moved.

This was the first time for him to visit the garden during the past few years.

The roses were not blooming. It was still green which dominated the whole place.

The King took a walk around and did not see any blooming roses, so he was panicking and feeling quite confused. “De Fu, the roses are not blooming, Jiang Shuang will be sad if she can’t see them!”

De Fu was still wiping his tears. He had no idea how to answer him.

Roses did not bloom in spring.

“King.” De Fu said with tears, sounding extremely sad.

The King was startled.

How could that be? Why were the roses not blooming?

He could not see the roses blooming, so he could not see Jiang Shuang any more either, right?

She was not going to be in either Weiyang Palace or in the town. He was never going to see her ever again. What should he do?

He just could not imagine that he would never see Jiang Shuang again.

“King, are you going to see the officers from the Ministry of Rites and have a discussion about the Queen’s funeral?” De Fu reminded him. He was truly worried that the King would do something suicidal without seeing the roses.

The garden was never taken care of. No one had visited the garden for a long time. Even the Queen did not seem to like roses that much any more.

The King nodded and his eyes brightened. “Yes, you are right. We should meet those from the Ministry of Rites first. We need to deal with one thing after another. Let’s go to the Imperial Study!”

The King hurried away.

De Fu followed, still wiping his tears.

Those from the Ministry of Rites were still there when the King arrived. Each of them was in great pain. They had waited for too

long.

The King said as he sat down, “It’s good that you are here, The Queen has passed away, and we need to give her a grand funeral!”

Then he nodded, agreeing with himself.

The ministers exchanged a look among themselves. One of them burst out. “What about the endowment ceremony for the heir?”
